For that reason it is published as an expression of the voice of the people. - It will be im- for The Call to oppose the Stan- higher education the general d possible, however. ford fee tem as it did the purpose to impose one at Berkeley. The conditions of the two institutions are so different that what would have been a wrong in the case is perfectly justifiable in the other. The State University is a part of our system of public education. It was founded by the people for the instruction of the youth of the State and is main- tained by taxation imposed upon the property of all. The manner of its government and administration is, therefore, a matter of public concern and is subject to public criticism just as that of any other State inslitu-i tion. The imposition of the suggested registration | fee upon students at a university so established would have been wrong, inasmuch as it would have shut out | from the advantages of the institution the children of | some of the people who are taxed to maintain it. It would have defeated the very aim for which the uni-| versity was founded—that of making education free. | Stanford University occupies a very different posi- | tion from that of the State University. It was not founded by the people, nor is it maintained by them It is a private institution founded and endowed to | perpetuate the memory of the family of the founder The trustees may, therefore, conduct it in any manner | they choose so long as they do not violate the terms under which the trust was created or those of the charter granted by the State. The trustees have as| much right to impose a tuition fee upon students of | the university as they have to limit the number of| women who will be admitted to it. | It is well known to be the desire of Mrs. Stanford | to provide education at the university as freely as pos- sible, and there can be no good reason for doubting that the trustees will co-operate with her to that end. | In time education may be untaxed there as at Berke- | The issue, however, is one for Mrs. Stanfordi As the public is not | it has no right to dic-| ley. and the trustees to deal with. taxed to sustain the university tate how it shall be conducted In view of the riots, threatened strikes and general disorder in his monarchy, the King of Belgium is | thinking of appealing to the country.

The ladies insist that in Berkeley at least everything shall not go | to the dogs. P It is all in the point of view.

And the American forces are. hot after that conscienceless rebel and military outlaw, Aguinaldo.

N WILLIAM HARRY THE VICTIM i STRUCK ON THE HEAD WITH A BLUNT INSTRUMENT. gy His Wound Was Dressed at the Receiving Hospital and the Police Are Searching for the Robbers. D William Harry, a boy 17 years of age, whose parents keep a bakery and con- fectionery at 323 Hyde street, was held up and robbed of all the money he had on Leavenworth street, between Califor- nia and Pine streets, about 9 o'clock Mon- day night. He was also struck on the head with some instrument which caused an ugly wound on his scalp. The boy, for fear of unnecessarily alarming his parents, went to bed after he got home without telling them of his experience, but yesterday morning, when his mother observed the clotted blood on bis head, she asked for an explanation and took him to the Receiving Hospital, where the wound. was stitched and dressed. If the blow had been an inch lower it might have killed the boy. “I was on my way home,” he said, “and when walking between California and Pine streets on Leavenworth 1 passed four young men who were lounging agamnst the wall of a house. I walked past them and they came running_after me. When they got up to me I was struck on the head with some instrument and the blow dazed me for a moment.

STUDENT FEES AT STANFORD. SAN JOSE, Cal., July 3, 1889, Editor Call—Dear Sir: I hope you will, by ringing editorials and otherwise, bring about in Stanford University that which bas just been achieved by the Regents of the State University, in removing the odious 3§20 tax. Stanford University col- lects each vear from- each and all of her students $20, and this, as every one knows, is in many instances a great hardship. There 1s no longer any reason why this hould be done. Stanford claims to be nd doubtless is the richest university in America, if not in the world. The sala- of Rer president and faculty are, to E the least, very liberal, and are from this time to be paid in full. Her income is enormous. In the near future she will be, as she ought to be, exempt from tax- atfon, since California has the unenviable reputation of being the only State in the Union that taxes her churches and edu- cational institutions. For these and many similar ri ons this university should fol- st set at Berkeley and financtal burden from the rs of her students and patrons, marly of whom are poor and are enduring many hardships for the education which Stanford affords.

Of course I speak from per- sonal experience and ohservation, having crossed on foot all of the following routes to mining camps and places, viz., across the State of Towa to Missouri River: thence to Auburn, Powder River, foot of Blue Mountains; thence to Boise Basin and what is now called Idaho City; thence to Salt Lgke City: thence to Virginia City, on Alder ¢ in Montana; thence to Honey Lake Valley, Cal.; thence back to Lancaster on the Humboldt; thence to Grass Valley, Cal, in the ‘early 60's.

Not merely well-to-do, comfortably off, or in easy cir- cumstances, but really wealthy. John has acquired thig Croesus-like competence by a variety of means. Some of it has come to him by inheritance, some has been gathered by hard work, and much has been picked up by carefully speculating in paris mutuels and other stocks which are of uncertain stability and have a habit of generally flopping the way least expected. John is what is generally known as a “wise guy.” He overlooks nothing, from John P. Jack- son Jr., one of the handsomest and most suave of the offspring of the Collector of the Port, has other claims to distinc- a champion ring contest to matching for | car fare. He even marks the sparrow’s fall, and when the bird is about to topple John will be sure to be found standing under the limb willing to give or take odds on the man- ner of its lighting. He is so well-in- formed that he seldom comes out at ‘‘the little end of the horn.”” Once in a while, however, he gets up against it, as he did in the following instance. Mrs. J. P. Jackson Jr. was sitting on the porch of her house in Belvedere the other day when she was approached by a rather seedy looking tndividual who requested her to invest In a lottery ticket. Mrs. Jack- son complied. A few days later the list was published and Mrs. Jackson found she was a winner to the extent of $10. She said nothing to any one, but, putting on her things, came over to the city to cash in. What was her disappointment to find the ticket was bogus. That evening when her lord and master had finished his din- ner she proposed a little game of freeze- out. “I have here a ticket that has a $10 win- ning number on it, dear,” she said. *“I will put it up against $10 and the one who wins will take all. John seeing something easy agreed to take a chance. The stakes had hardly been posted when his wife, declaring she had a headache, stopped the game. “I really can't play any more, dear,” she said. “You give me the money and take the ticket over with you to-morrow morn- ing and have it cashed.” John did as she requested. The next day it cost John $4 25 for liquids, $5 10 for a lunch and two wordy altercations that almost resulted in mix- ups, and, to cap the climax, upon his re- turn home his wife sweetly informed him that she had spent the ten he gave her and could not possibly refund it. Bay “Little Louisiana” to John now and he buys without a word. ——————— CALIFORNIANS IN NEW YORK.

HE Alcazar presents a double bill this week—“Only the Master Shall Blame” and “Don Caesar de Ba- zan.” Criticism of the curtain raiser as a play 1§ no affair of mine—that goes without saying. I made no haste to read the journals in the morning, lest “good digestion” might be prevented from ‘“walting upon appetite.” Besides, there was no need for haste. I have the good fortune to sit at a ‘“truth-telling breakfast table,” and after listening to all it had to say I reached out my hand for the papers and the punishment, well braced for a shock, and received a much lighter one than I expected. I have been told that my title was a deep, dark hint to the critics. If so, they did not take the hint. I have read ail they had to fell me, and after extricating myself from the meshes of “lady villains in melo- dramas,” “superfluities,” “hackneys” and ‘haniicaps” and many words of Kind en- couragement, 1 acknowledge my fauits, bromise to profit by the needed advice, hnd snatch up my pen, ready to push my Way from the frontiers of drama into the thick of the fight. T feel warranted in saying that Miss Roberts played the role of Margaret Niel in & manner so charming as to earn the deepest gratitude of the author, that Mr. Uhittlesey, as Leary, was far better than she builded, and that Mr. Platt, Miss Crews, Miss Banning and Mr. Denni- thorne moré than sustained their parts. The change between Miss Roberts’ cur- tain fall and her entrance as Maritana in “Don Caesar de Bazan' shows most per- fectly the versatility of this clever little woman. Don Caesar will never grow old or cease to charm with its swashbuckle rollicking comedy. Mr. Morrison’s grasp of the character is & firm one. He speaks the lines so as to bring laughs In just the right places and holds the interest and sym- pathy of the audience to the curtain. Mr. Whittlesey was every inch the King and wooed his Maritana with an earnestness that ieft no doubt as to his deep infatua- tion for the beautiful, foolish dancing girl. The play at the second perform. ance went with that grateful swing and dash that were lacking on the first night. The minor parts are fairly well sustained and (he play, especially In the first act, well mounted. CHARLOTTE THOMPSON. —_——— Battered a Chinese.
